98 durango with electrical probs. please help.

Welcome from Texas. Please be sure to search the forums. There are several posts concerning front air not blowing cold.
As for the electrical problems. I would begin by looking for a bad fuse or possibly an unplugged connector on the instrument cluster.

Welcome to the Z from NC! Not sure but the ABS/brake light might be caused by a bad speed sensor. May want to search on that. Glad you joined, enjoy!

the brake light only comes on if the brake fluid is low. the abs is probably a bad sensor.
and i would check fuses for the radio and stuff.

These are all the same problem.

I bet your speedo starts working at about 40+, right?

Replace the speed sensor on top of the rear differential. I just got done doing this, and both warning lights went off, and the speedo/odo started working.

The part is $35 ($40 with tax) at Napa, and it takes about 30 minutes including fumbling around because you're not familiar with the vehicle. You'll need 13mm and 14mm wrenches or sockets. And if you have a hi-lift jack, that will help by giving you more room to work between the body and the axle (jack it up by the rear bumper or tow hitch).
